i support what the obama administration is doing here. but it gs to show just how difficult, how messy and for when the bush administration would make the point those senior leaders would say, it's difficult for, perhaps, some to understand what we're dealing with when we talk about this level. all natural security decisions are serious. but when we are talking about this kind of threat, we have to make at times very messy and sometimes uncomfortable and sometimes questionable decisions. so i think my point is democrats seem to now think back about how they conducted themselves and the questions they raised about bush administration tactics. i didn't raise those questions as aggressively as some of my friends did, but it's important everyone take a step back and a breather here, particularly democrats. >>> new details on the endearing political relationship between dwight eisenhower and richard nixon. >> that was a straight one, those two. >> yes. our next guest explores the two iconic leaders. >>> also, in the aftermath of the great rece

obama had to clean the clock of the republicans on the hispanic vote. this was a hispanic vote that during the democratic primaries in 2008, obama was struggling. hillary was the candid. four years later we don't even, that seems like a ridiculous premise, but that was a real premise in 2008. i think the 71, that's what -- big deals happen in washington when there's benefit on both sides. and republicans, the leadership knows it. it's going to happen. >> it's such a contrast with what's happening with the budget agreement. >> but they don't see an upside to raising taxes for them. and they're right, on the politics, they're right. >> they don't need to. >> they're right on the politics and so you get into sequester. >> i know. >> what's going on at the moment -- >> government workers getting laid off, do you think there's unpopular? >> if you're eric cantor, it might be. you're trying to get the other side to take the blame for the sequester. and i think when you get into the actual laying off of people all over the country, not just in virginia, i thin
